COASTAL property markets have taken off with new figures revealing a surge in auctions and sales numbers.

Auction activity on the Gold Coast was booming, according to the latest CoreLogic RP Data Quarterly Auction Market Review, with more homes going under the hammer there than in any other non-capital city market in the country.

At the same time the Sunshine Coast was revealed as the top region in Queensland for property sales with predictions it will lead to future price growth.

The latest Hotspotting Price Predictor report found the Sunshine Coast had more suburbs than any other region in the state where sales numbers were rising steadily.
